greycoupon was having a bad day this morning, so I wrote her fluff. She chose the third character, when I gave her random options (not that she had any idea what I was asking for).
Hide and Seek
by ALC Punk!
A small body smacked into Kara Thrace's legs as she was walking from the cafeteria to CIC. She didn't have an appointment there, but figured she could annoy Tigh a little. It was the sort of thing she could do, now that things seemed to be getting better between her and Adama. Tigh didn't even really mind all that much--Kara sometimes missed the early morning meetings as CAG, truth be told. The small impact, however, derailed that, and she peered down at the little girl. "Kacey?"
"Up," announced Kacey, holding out her arms and grinning up at Kara.
Not seeing anyone else, Kara sighed and bent down to scoop her up. "You're gonna get us in trouble, Kace. You're not supposed to be here."
"Hide," was Kacey's only reply, giggling as she tucked her head against Kara's shoulder.
It was sweet and adorable, and Kara was pretty sure she was losing macho points even thinking that. "Kacey, where's your mama?"
"Hide, Kara," Kacey ordered, her voice not too far from sounding like Tigh at his blusteriest.
Rolling her eyes, Kara nevertheless turned and headed for the nearest storage closet. There was one half a corridor down, and it was dusty. Pushing the door closed, Kara hunkered down behind it, brushing her dusty fingers off. "Why're we hidin', Kace?"
"Lons," Kacey explained, her voice trying to be quiet, and failing rather spectacularly. "'Lons seek!"
The Cylons were stalking Kacey. Kara wondered who the hell had told her that. Her mother certainly wouldn't. Kara had to keep her voice even, though she was amused. "Who said the Cylons were after you?"
"Nuh-uh." Giggling, Kacey hunkered down further against Kara.
A moment later, Kara could hear the sound of footsteps in the corridor--probably someone coming to search for the kid. Playing hide and seek hadn't exactly been on Kara's agenda, but she suddenly thought it would be way more interesting than annoying Tigh. She held her breath as the steps got closer, determined not to give them away.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, and Kara pressed her shoulders against the hatch. Hopefully their combined weight would make the person think it was locked and they'd move on.
Speculating as to who would play with Kacey, Kara settled on Hot Dog. Or possibly Seelix, since the woman was pretty young--though she seemed like she was decent pilot material. Kara briefly considered the Old Man, but discarded the thought--he was much too busy to play with a small child. Probably.
A mutter came from the other side of the hatch, but it was too indistinct for Kara to recognize the voice. A shove at the hatch didn't open it and the person seemed to give up. Their footsteps faded away, and Kara let out a breath she wasn't aware she'd been holding.
"Whoa, close, huh?"
"Yeah," Kacey agreed, giggling.
"So now what?" Kara asked, wondering how long it would be before someone actually missed that Kacey was gone.
"Hide, Lons." asserted Kacey, giggling more and then scrambling out of Kara's lap to start investigating the dusty room.
"Yeah, I got that." Chuckling a little herself, Kara stood and stretched, reaching down to keep Kacey from grabbing one of the straps hanging off a shelf. It was attached to a lever and pulley system, and would probably fall and smack her on the head. While some people might say she should learn by getting hurt, Kara figured she should be a bit nicer than some people.
The room was dusty and full of half-broken bits and pieces. It had probably been used as a frak-spot, once upon a time.
Hell, she'd probably used it herself for just such a purpose.
Dusting her hands off, Kara scooped Kacey up, "We should probably go, you know."
"Nooo. Hide!"
"Fine, we--" breaking off, hearing footsteps again, Kara clamped a hand over Kacey's mouth and listened.
"Kacey? Kacey, honey, it's time to stop playing, ok?"
Mouth dropping open, Kara stared at the hatch, eyes wide. Lee? LEE was the one playing hide and seek with Kacey? Kara shook her head in amazement, wondering if he'd been replaced with a Cylon. Kara would have bet an entire year's pay, back when money was actually worth anything, that Lee Adama would never, in a million trillion years, play hide and seek with a small child.
Maybe Dee was softening him up more than she'd thought.
Kacey squirmed in her arms, giggling and getting Kara's hand off her mouth, just so she could shout. "LONS!"
The hatch swung open, and Lee said, his voice filled with relief, "Hey, Kace. I'm so glad I found you, I--Kara?"
"Hey, Lee," she smirked and let Kacey, who was wriggling like a fish out of water, down. Kacey bounced over to Lee, babbling about lons and hiding and Kara. "You're a Cylon, huh?"
Lee shrugged, "Sounded like a good idea at the time."
"Uh-huh. You sure you're supposed to be playing hide and seek, Mr. CAG?" Kara asked, her tone mocking.
"Hey, I know how to have fun, Kara," Lee defended himself, scooping Kacey up and tucking her against his hip like he'd done it a thousand times before.
"Never been too sure about that."
"LONS," Kacey shouted, interrupting them.
Kara laughed, "Cylons, Kace. And there aren't any, at least not where we are."
"Kara, hide?"
"No. Kara has to go do real work now," Kara replied.
"Aw. You sure?"
"I'm sure." Rolling her eyes, Kara ruffled Kacey's hair, "You terrorize him good, Kace."
"Lons, hide," Kacey agreed.
"Good plan." It was, really. When the Cylons arrived, all small children should be hiding. Kara, though, Kara would be in a viper, blowing their shit up. And so would Lee.
"Kara, don't annoy Tigh too much, please," Lee requested as he turned to walk away.
Starbuck snickered, "Keep wishin', Lee."
"At least don't piss him off enough that he goes haunting in Joe's tonight?"
"Fine, fine," Kara waved at Kacey, who was looking over Lee's shoulder. "Try not to get lost, Lee."
Kacey waved back, looking disappointed that Kara wasn't following, but mostly happy. Kara figured that was a good sign that Lee, at the least, wasn't annoying the crap out of her.

She is so bouncy and cheery!
and I so totally don't have a sequel half-written.no subject
Also canonical, since we did see Lee desperately trying to connect with little Paya in one of the Episodes We Don't Talk About.
no subject
*snickers* Also, in one of the Scar deleted scenes, Lee clearly does want kids. Kara, otoh, is all "omgwtfno".

Well, you know, Three did say that bit to Gaius, about them training their children to hate and fear the Cylons...

and isn't that how kids in Europe were taught during WWII?

A few days later, Kara was again accosted by a speeding Kacey. The little demanded, with great delight, that they hide. Tolling her eyes, Kara gave in and hid in a storage closet again. This one was a little cleaner, since CIC had actually been using it to store the plastic model ships, among other things.
Kacey reached for one of the tiny vipers, chattering under her breath at it.

Very cute!

Dude, it totally would. Plus, with the Galactica, there's all that space that wasn't being used or was being converted to tourism, and so I bet there's tons of little nooks and crannies...

It was sweet and adorable, and Kara was pretty sure she was losing macho points even thinking that. AWWWWW.
It was beyond CUTE and a touch of angst ('training kids during a boarding'). MORE please.

Yes, yes I did write cute fluffy kidfic. Sometimes, it happens. Sometimes, it doesn't.

While some people might say she should learn by getting hurt, Kara figured she should be a bit nicer than some people.
But, of course, with the appropriate touch of angst.
